Seersucker coats look neat and are
comfortable. ss
Wool buyers are busy at present
not many persons i'm this neighbOr
hood have vet sold. Washing sheer
has been engaged in rather largely
during the past week; fun for the
frolicksome boys.
Some persons who call themselves
gentlemen have quite an idea of play
ing ball on Sunday in the lower part
of this vicinity, West. We think 1t
a shame that such persons could not
have more respect for the Sabbath
and moreover their parents. Some of
the small boys from this place have
been seen there. Their parents
should keep a watchful eye over them
and not let them look even at such
degrading sabbath breakers.
Mr.. j. w. Miller has disposed of
his stock of goods, Mr.. Fisher, of
Hampshire Co., being the purchaser.
Possession will be given July LIST.
Vegetation looks well since the
rain; everything looks brighter and
now there is a glowing prospect for

fellow will regret its appearance ere

his work has been subject of much
favorable comment, and we hope so
much can be said of friend Bowen at
the expiration of his term.
Mr.. George Deck, an aged citizen
near here, is lying dangerously ill at
his home near here, having been
thrown from his wagon by his horse
becoming frightened at dogs owned
by Mr.. David Stewart. The horse is
old and never before known to
brighten. lie is in a precarious condi-
ton and is subjected to much intense
suffering.
The P. E. Sunday School was re-
organized at this place Sunday with
good attendance and full corps of
teachers. Mr.. G.. E. Leckhart was
elected Superintendent and we think
will discharge his duty with earnest
ness. Mr.. VIM. Morgan resigned

duties regularly and made an efficient
